Cycling

At Le Rouzet, cycling enthusiasts can ride right from our doorstep into the stunning local countryside. Our guesthouse serves as the perfect starting point for exploring scenic trails and winding roads that meander through charming villages, vineyards, and rugged landscapes. Whether you’re an avid cyclist seeking challenging routes or a leisurely rider in search of the flat paths along the Canal du Midi, our location offers something for every level. After a day of cycling, return to our welcoming guesthouse where you can unwind, relax, and relive the highlights of your two-wheeled tours.

James has previously cycled from St Malo to Clermont Ferrand and his son was a category 2 cyclist. Although France is renowned for its smooth tarmac roads, perfect for roadies, ask your host James about the local off-road mountain bike trails too.

With our convenient location and dedicated hospitality, your cycling adventure awaits just outside our doors.
